Users would face all kinds of lag when using Windows Vista and Windows 7 with Aero enabled on older, clunkier computers with relatively light graphics processors. Windows Aero was a very graphics-heavy User Interface for its time, requiring computers to have a significantly large amount of graphics processing power to run it smoothly. That being the case, most users who hated how resource-heavy Aero was or simply wanted to get the most out of their hardware (when playing games – where every single frame counts – for example), wanted to disable Aero. Thankfully, you can get rid of Aero and its computer resource hogging tendencies on both versions of the Windows Operating System that come with Windows Aero to begin with. In addition, on both Windows Vista and Windows 7, users who want to get rid of Windows Aero have the option to either disable Windows Aero everywhere throughout their computer or disable it for certain applications only (which will automatically disable Aero whenever these applications are running).
